Mother of Learning: Arc 2 Kickstarter

Hello dear patrons. I'm happy to say that the Kickstarter for the first book went pretty well. As such, the second book also gets a physical edition! Here's a link to the kickstarter page:

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, dear patrons! I don't have any real news for you, but it's officially Christmas here in Croatia and I felt like sending some well-wishes to you all. I hope you're all having a good time this holiday season. Me, I'm a little sick right now - Corona finally caught me - but it's nothing serious and I expect to recover soon.

I'll have more story-related news for you all in the new year. Hopefully with less procrastinating on my part. ;)

Have fun.

Mother of Learning Arc 4 Audiobook Pre-order is live

Hi dear patrons. It's been a while. I'm still writing Zenith of Sorcery, because of course. However, let's not speak about my slowness, because I have a happier news - the last arc of Mother of Learning audiobook is available for pre-order on Podium's site:

Zenith of Sorcery Test Chapter 1, Version 2

Hello dear patrons. Today I bring you a revised version of the first chapter of my new story. It has gone through significant changes, though the second half of it is mostly unaltered - I actually really liked how the interaction with Elid and Pellast was written in the initial version. Overall, I think it now reads much better than it used to, but I'm happy to hear your thoughts.

I won't be posting the other chapters I'm working on, as they're still not in a good state. I like the curr...

Some new worldbuilding

Greetings dear patrons. I know I have been pretty quiet for a while, but while writing Zenith of Sorcery continues, I don't have much to really show you, so I haven't been making posts.

126k Kickstarter + Arc 2 Audiobook Pre-Orders

Hello dear patrons. The Kickstarter campaign for the Arc 1 physical books have now concluded, with people pledging the frankly unbelievable amount of 126,133 USD. And here I thought Bryce was being overly-optimistic by including the 100k goal in the campaign. I'm blown away by your support and I hope the eventual book will likewise blow away your expectations. Which is a tall order, as most of you have already read the actual story, but maybe the object itself will be just so impressive View Post

Narration of the AU Chapter 1b

Hello dear patrons. Some of you may be already aware of this, but I figured I would draw some attention to it: Jack Voraces has made a narration of the latest AU chapter I wrote a while back earlier. I've attached the audiofile to this post. Hopefully this works, as I've never posted audiofiles here before.

If you're interested in more stuff from Voraces or want to contact him for some reason, he is most active on his discord, which can be found here:

A Brand New Year

Happy New Year dear patrons! I'm a little late with this, I admit, but not that late. I hope you all had fun and enjoyable holidays.

Last year is behind us. Although I have not started publishing Zenith of Sorcery like I thought I would, some work had still been done on that front and I had actually started writing again. MoL has received an official e-book and audiobook editions. I also wrote the AU chapters, which felt nice. Overall, a pretty good year for my creative endeavors.

Changing back to Per Chapter payment

Hello my wonderful patrons. I have changed the payment method back to per chapter payment.

I did this because writing is going way slower than I anticipated, and because I've recently been heavily rewriting the initial two chapters rather than writing any any one, meaning it would be a while since I published anything new related to Zenith of Sorcery. Thus, for the sake of my own peace of mind and in order not to mislead people, I've returned to the old method of payment. That is, me ch...

September Update (Still no Chapter)

I am still having issues finishing chapter three of Zenith of Sorcery. I've been looking at earlier chapters, thinking of how I should alter them, and have not done much work on actually writing the third chapter in the end.

I don't want to switch back to per chapter payments yet, since people have indicated they're fine with monthly payments for now, and since I don't actually think I've entered writer's block or anything, but we'll see how things develop. I don't want to collect payme...

Late August Update

I wanted to post this at the end of August, but missed it by a handful of days. In any case, I obviously didn't manage to finish the third chapter by the end of August. I still have something to do this week, but I'll see if I can finish the chapter by the end of next one. Though, like all things with me and my writing, this has to be taken with a pinch of salt. You guys have known me for a while now, so I'm sure you know this. :)

Zenith of Sorcery Test Chapter 2

Greetings people. The second test chapter of Zenith of Sorcery is finally here!

I had great trouble with this chapter. As you could probably tell. I rewrote it twice, and I'm still not entirely happy with it. Some of the transitions are a bit rough and I'm not sure if everything flows right... but the basic shape of the chapter is fine, I think.

A word of warning: this chapter is basically unedited. My editor is busy till Monday, so you're going to finally experience how horrific ...

June Report

So, it's close to the end of June, and there is no test chapter number 2 for Zenith of Sorcery yet. I apologize for that. I'll try to finish a chapter by the end of next week, but of course that means this entire month has been spent with nothing to show for it. If that happens again, I'll switch back to per chapter billings so as to not burden you all with pointless costs.

Anyway, I did keep writing and thinking up chapter outlines in the meantime, so it's not as if I have some kind of...

Vote Results: Monthly Payments

This is a simple notification post. Based on the votes and comments I received on my last post, I have switched billing from 'per chapter' to 'once a month'. Patreon will now bill you at the first of each month for becoming my patron, so keep that in mind going forward.

Thanks to all who voted or commented on the issue.

Zenith of Sorcery Billing Strategy

So, a little background here. When I first started posting Mother of Learning on Fictionpress, I published the first four chapters of the story all at once on the same day. I did that because I like to start my stories slow and it took four chapters for MoL to really get into the whole premise of the story itself... but also because posting multiple chapters in succession builds momentum for the story.

For Zenith of Sorcery, I basically intend to do the same thing. I will wait until I h...

Zenith of Sorcery Test Chapter 1

First of all, those who care about spoilers should skip this post. Fair warning.

Anyway: what you're looking at is the first chapter of Zenith of Sorcery. It's not the final version of the chapter - I intend to tinker with it for a while still. It may go through considerable changes and revisions later, or I may change very little in the final version, I don't know yet... but I am fairly pleased with it's current form.

The reason I'm posting this is two-fold. First of all, I'd lik...
